Hello All! Congrats to all that got accepted...I know you've worked hard to get here! For those that didn't get in, please don't give up. I just wanted to leave some words of wisdom considering some of the negative comments on here. I am currently a ...

I am in my last semester of an ADN program. I too enjoyed all of the prerequisite courses and fortunately had a 4.0 prior to starting my program. I would not say that the amount of time needed to study is any different during nursing school than it i...

jem8945, I was accepted for Spring 2011 and received my acceptance letter around November if I recall correctly.

Long story here, but my overall GPA at the time was a 3.84, however my GPA on all of my nursing prerequisites was a 4.0. I had attempted to go to JJC fresh out of high school and was very unsuccessful. At that time I was an accounting major. When I w...

To Reese2012, Having as many prerequisites as possible done before applying increases your odds of getting in, plus you don't want to have to take these classes along side nursing classes. I applied before I completed A&P II and still got in, but...

I got in with an 84 composite and an 88 in reading. There averages change with every semester, since there are different people taking it. I do know that they look at the TEAS reading score, TEAS composite score, GPA on nursing prerequisites, and com...

Hey all, I just finished 1st semester so I thought I would chime in : ) I was in the day program and the first 4 weeks of my clinicals were in the lab from 8-12, then we went to the nursing home for 3 weeks (7-1:30), then the hospital for 6 weeks (7-...

I bought my books, uniform, etc....but mostly I am just enjoying time with the kids and working as much as possible to save money before I cut my hours.

I too am so excited, but nervous and scared at the same time. Congrats to all who got accepted for Spring 2011!!

Gixergirl....what section are you in for clinical? I think you MIGHT be in my group.

I have heard the same thing about registration. A friend of mine started the program last semester and said that when she showed up to registration her times and days were already set.

Also, does anyone know the info about the scrubs. The letter says that we need a lab jacket, but it says scrubs are "optional", do we or do we not need scrubs? I want to be prepared, because I'm planning on getting all of these things done early.

I think the key is scoring around 80 on the TEAS. I had feared that I wouldn't get in because I didn't have Bio 251 done, but I think since I scored an 84 comp and 88 reading and had A's in all the other prereq's it helped me out.

Oh, I also forget....CONGRATS to everyone!!! I know that we have all worked very hard for this!!! :yeah::yeah:Now lets all have a big sigh of relief and get ready for our lives to be thrown upside down!

I got into the day program too!!! WoOt WoOt!!! So excited right now!!!!

Flutterbye, Really. I've heard from a couple people that we might find out this week, but when I ask the Nursing Department they are so vague with any information. I'm so nervous that I swear I won't sleep well until I find out...good or bad! I'm pre...

My stomach is in knots waiting for a reply. I just wanted to say GOOD LUCK to everyone!

Do it!!!!! :))) I'm a mother of two, ages 4 and 6, I also work (p/t for now) and am a full time student. It gets very hard at times, but it is not impossible. Working, scheduling school, doing homework, making dinner, and keeping up with the house is...

I applied for Spring 2011 too!!! I'm nervously awaiting the November email:uhoh3:. Unfortunately I do not have all of the prereqs done, I am currently in Micro and A&P II. I know this significantly decreases my odds of getting in, but I figured i...
